    Overall I actually B the best.

    Although it would be more palatable if rounds 1 and 2 were flipped.

    Ok I went through all your picks A-D and based on where you had the players slotted I took who I wouldn't mind seeing at each spot...

    1- Rashaan Evans- the injury is the only question mark to me. If everything checks out it's a tough pass..

    2- Lorenzo Carter-has all the athleticism and measurables you need. Say ByE Bye to Bud ,no 5th year option get Carter up to speed to take his place next year. Save that $$$...

    3- Anthony Miller- he is 24 years old so that puts me off a little and usually does the Steelers as well. Was a choice between him and Penny. I think Penny will be decent but we either end up signing Bell long term or we ride the wheels off and find a new stud RB next year. RBs get up to speed faster than any position so we can afford to wait.

    5a- Shaquem Griffin- how can you not grab this kid here. He has proven he can play at a high level. He gives us that true "hybrid" I know Mac loves:smiley1:. Will bring a ton of character to the room and maybe it rubs off...the dynamic between he and Shazier inspiring each other gives me the chills...

    5b- EQ Brown- size and speed wasn't able to show his talent at ND. EQ Brown learning from A Brown and a QB who can get him the ball. Sounds like music to my ears :hehehe:

    7a- Shaun Dion Hamilton- injuries have been the only thing stopping him from becoming a household name and a much higher draft pick...the downside is he is a versatile tremendous back up and has the potential to end up being our best LB. Worst case he's our 3rd or 4th best....

    7b- Luke Falk- A QB with outstanding accuracy and upside/potential in the 7th.....thank you!

    I know some may think too many LBs but we can use both ILB and OLB , Griffin is a jack of all trades and SDHs potential is just too hard to pass up. Bostic is probably short term although still young.VW is in his last year to I believe. Dirty and Fort aren't full time starters....

    Some may question ...no Safety? ....but I can see Griffen as a in the box guy. Thinking/hoping for a bounce back year from Davis. I think he and Burnett share similar skills that can make them truly interchangeable between SS/FS even on a game to game or series to series basis. If we can get our communication up to speed we can take huge advantage of their versatility to really give QBs fits in the pass game. While I would of loved a centerfield type FS we still have Sutton and Allen who probably have that potential....

    I just wish this damn draft would get here already......it's like spring weather,feels like it's never gonna get here.

    Draft simulators can be fun but highly unrealistic.

    I've been messing around with fanspeak and first pick all afternoon. I bet I've done about 10 of these so far. Here some interesting things I've noticed;

    I like fanspeak better than first pick. It's way more realistic. Some of the trades in first pick are insane.

    Either Rashaan Evans or LVE has been available at 28 in every draft I have done. Bates and Reid are always available with our 2. Bates is almost always there in the 3rd.

    Mason Rudolph has been available to the Steelers in the 2nd round everytime except once. He even lasted to the 4th once.

    Saquon Barkley almost never goes top 5.

    This is using a different big board everytime.

    I did the same thing yesterday lol. And noticed the same exact things. One of the ILB was always there in the 1st and Bates was always there in the 2nd.

    If we get through the first two rounds with LVE and Bates I'd be ecstatic.
